Political Prosecution.

This sure looks likes her arrest was political motivated so that it could be put out on social media but I bet they didn’t post about the results.

A local transgender woman has been found not guilty of public indecency charges related to incidents at the Xenia YMCA last year.

Rachel Glines, 31, of Fairborn, was charged in Xenia Municipal Court with three counts of public indecency, all fourth-degree misdemeanors, for incidents in September and November 2022, and a third incident between November 2021 and 2022.

“The facts and law have been on Ms. Glines’ side from the beginning. It’s unfortunate not only for her, but for the entire community, that the filing of these charges ever occurred,” Glines’ attorneys said in a statement Monday. “We are grateful that the rule of law and the truth prevailed so that Ms. Glines and the community can move on in peace.”

Xenia police received “several complaints of a naked man in the females’ locker room” of the YMCA branch, which is located on Progress Drive in Xenia, according to the criminal complaint.

A trans-identified male is facing multiple indecent exposure charges after repeatedly stripping down in the women’s locker room at a YMCA in Xenia, Ohio, including when minors were present.

Rachel Glines, born Darren, was the subject of multiple complaints from female patrons between 2021 and 2022. Glines, 31, has now been charged with three counts of indecent exposure and is due in court on February 6.

Some details of the allegations were discussed by city council president William Urschel at a January 24 meeting of the Greene County Tea Party. In a recording of the meeting uploaded to YouTube, Urschel is heard recounting details of one incident stemming from a woman who brought her complaints about Glines forward.

“So she went to the front desk and said, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you know what’s going on… but there’s a naked man in there,’” Urshchel said. “She was informed, ‘No this is actually a woman, and that you shouldn’t be disturbed by this.’” Urschel’s comments were met by members attending the meeting loudly proclaiming “insanity!”
Now tell me that the arrest wasn’t politically motivated! It was all over the conservative media with her name, that she’s trans, and was arrested public indecency. William Urschel is a Republican and the complainant was a pastor’s wife.

A Xenia Municipal Court has found a transgender woman not guilty of Public Indecency after a complaint filed because of her use of the women's locker room at the Xenia YMCA.

Xenia Municipal Judge David M. McNamee ruled on Friday that there was insufficient evidence to support the charge against Rachel Glines, who was listed in court documents as Darren C. Glines.

"There is no question that the Defendant was in the Women's Locker Room," McNamee wrote in his decision. "However, the Defendant was not charged with trespass, nor was the Defendant charged with being in an area of the YMCA where the Defendant was not supposed to be. Quite simply, the facts do not exist to support a finding of guilt, as charged."

McNamee said the YMCA had given Glines permission to use the women's locker rooms at all Greater Dayton area branches.
But she was arrested and her name dragged through the mud.

I see this as politically motivated, everything points to it… pastor, the Tea Party, and the city council president. Was it a setup?



Our neighbors to the north have a court case that could create trouble for us in New Hampshire.

The New Hampshire Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday in a case brought by a Manchester parent challenging school policies around transgender and nonbinary students.

The parent says she was kept in the dark when her child began using a different name and identifying as a different gender at school — something the parent objected to.

The case is part of a broader fight over the rights of transgender and gender nonconforming students playing out in New Hampshire. Republican lawmakers are rallying behind legislation that would force schools to disclose a student’s gender identity to parents when asked. The House narrowly rejected one such proposal last month, but another remains on the table after passing the Senate along party lines.

In court this week, attorney Richard Lehmann told the justices that parents have a fundamental, constitutional right to raise their children as they see fit. Lehmann, who is also the longtime legal counsel for Republicans in the state Senate, said that extends to knowing whether their child is socially transitioning at school.

“Parental input into that kind of decision matters,” he said.

At issue is a district policy that says Manchester school staff generally shouldn’t disclose when a student identifies as transgender or gender nonconforming, without that student’s permission.
And what will happen if the parents don’t accept their child being trans? What happens if the child runs away? What happens if it is a state that doesn’t ban conversion therapy? The Republicans scream “Parental Rights” but what about our rights?
Last year, a lower court judge sided with the school district and dismissed the lawsuit, saying Manchester's policy did not violate the parent’s rights. The parent, who filed suit anonymously to protect her child’s privacy, is appealing that order.
And what if the parents would rather have a dead child than a trans child?

  1. ... did you happen to catch the reasoning of the judge regarding why there was no indecent exposure:

    Judge David McNamee eventually cleared Glines of these charges, insisting that there was "little dispute as to the facts of the case" regarding Glines' permission to be in the locker room as well as the fact that Glines’ heavy body set likely covered the penis.

    'There is no question that [Glines] was in the women's locker room. However, [Glines] was not charged with trespass, nor was [Glines] charged with being in an area of the YMCA where [Glines] was not supposed to be," McNamee wrote. "Quiet simply, the facts do not exist to support a find of guilt, as charges. Glines' genitalia was not visible as a result of other portions of her body covering same."

    Wow.

    I suppose it's true that no said equity has to be pretty.
